questions.
All testimony were questions
There was no opposition.
and
clarification
Questions included the following:
~-~~----- - ._._-~. ~~--.~----- - ----
Roger Warren: The Air Quality should be kept under control with all
the added homes. The Plan speaks only briefly to the Air Quality
problem. There was a request for an action plan for Air Quality.
Richard Meirs: The Beacon Light, Dry Creek, Farmers Union Canal
area should be very low density housing (along the Beacon Lt. Rd.
the "Triangle"). Before the areas designated greenbelt become
greenbelts, what are the plans for the area? Answer: will stay as
is now, with an easement in place.
Tom Ricks: Represents 16 homeowners in the area listed on the
designation map as very low density (yellow). They want
consideration to a change it to medium density (3 to 5). The area
includes from Highway 44, W. along Linder, N 3/4 mile N of Floating
Feather, E down an imaginary road to Meridian Rd out to the
highway. They would like to see a higher density in that area.
The area would be contiguous to the SE portion of the map listed as
medium density. They are farmers, but may want to develop one day.
This would encourage sewer rather than shallow wells and septic
systems.
Earl Silverson: The long corridor from Beacon Light along Dry
Creek W of Highway 55 should be RT, 5 acre lots.
Bill Selvage: Needs clarification on Page 1 the purpose is to
encourage urban development, but speaks of rural throughout the
plan. In looking at the map there seems some conflict from
Commercial areas to residential should be a natural orders to
occur, especially around the by-pass area. (no commercial next to
3-5 area). This spreads the commercial core too far. There needs
to be a trade off when you deal with net density.
Jerry Tremmel: Page 18, item 6: encourage using material and
technique. Does this encourage pre-fabricated housing? Does it
extend to mobile homes. Answer: mobile homes are not excluded.
The Comprehensive Plan only gives a picture, a general statement.
Page 20, item 9: Is there a definition to buffer zone? Answer:
That will be better defined in Eagle City Code.
Gail Siron: What do you view in the purple section off State St. as
a higher density? There is a medium density, then high and again
medium, creating a hop-scotch effect. All of it should be medium.
The Redwood Subdivision is listed in 2 different areas, it should
be all one density.
Shelly Draper: Commended the P&Z and Council on the map.
Questioned page 2 "to encourage agriculture" if there is nothing on
the map how is it protected? Answer: Page 2 is a statement by
State Code and requirements of the Local Planning Act.
Moved by HINMAN and seconded by BERENT to continue the hearing
until the March 15, 1993 meeting. There will be no additional
public testimony at that time, but all written testimony will be
accepted until 5:00 p.m. March 5. ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED.

presented. ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED.
Kelli Blair reported on the activities of the City Council.
HINMAN made a request that the City Attorney attend P&Z public
hearings, such as the Comprehensive Plan. It was anticiapted that
the Attorney would attend tonight. She wants consideration for
attorney representation at such meetings. HINMAN also wants follow
up on the question of the length of the cul-de-sacs.
Moved by BRINTON and seconded by HINMAN to continue the Ashland
hearing scheduled for continuance tonight to the March 15 meeting.
ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED.
The Commission agreed to pickup their agendas. They asked for a
telephone call when they are ready. Mr. Gerber requested his to be
mailed.
